Abstract

Hemolytic disease of the newborn is commonly diagnosed and managed by pediatric and newborn hospitalists. Severe cases, however, pose unique challenges for community hospitals without higher level neonatal intensive care units. This case highlights the challenges faced by pediatric hospitalists in the community and suggests a focused approach to management.
